We'd been using a Netgear FVS336G VPN router that was setup with a couple site-to-site VPN's, as well as multiple client-to-site VPN's. Over the last few months it had become unreliable and had to frequently be rebooted or played with to get it to connect properly.

I was tasked with finding an enterprise level router that could handle the VPN connections, had solid reviews, and could fit in to my limited budget.

After a fair bit of searching, I ended up purchasing the Ubiquiti EdgeRouter Lite.
It had solid reviews and appeared to be exactly what I was looking for.

I connected the new router to my test system and configured it to my liking. The site-to-site VPN connections were easy to configure using the built in gui options, however the L2TP client-to-site VPN's took a little more research and required using the CLI interface to get setup.

After thoroughly documenting my configuration, I reset the unit and configured it for production. I disconnected the FVS336G and dropped the EdgeRouter in and everything came back online and has been working great ever since.
